This vintage neon sign continues to advertise an actual neighborhood shoe repair shop. Found on Park Blvd in the Glenview neighborhood. The skies are blue and clear despite this being the rainy season. For skies around the world, visit Skywatch Friday.

Great old sign and lovely half-timbered building. The only shoe repair I know of closed about six months ago. I will need to search out another. I have some shoes that are at least twenty years old but can last at least that much longer with periodic resoling and replacement of the inner linings. It is not that I am cheap. They are comfortable and look good and I don't like throwing out things that are still good.
